4:04 PM ET

Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida will be the site of the College Football Playoff national championship game in the year 2026.

According to a source, Atlanta is expected to be the host city for the 25th edition of theCFP. The national championship game took place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

An announcement on that site will be made in the near future, despite the fact that the location of the national title game has already been determined. The sites were chosen by the management committee, which is made up of the 10 FBS Commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director.

The executive director said they were delighted to be back in Miami. South Florida was a great host for the national championship game in 2021, even though the event had to be scaled back because of COVID-19, and we look forward to returning in 2026 with a full complement of events and activities. It was easy to return to South Florida due to the first-class stadium, convention center, hotels and supportive people.

TheCFP National Championship has become one of the most popular sporting events in the United States in a short period of time, and we look forward to a terrific celebration in Miami in the year 2026.

The national title game will be held in two different stadiums in the future. The management committee hasn't yet decided a format or site for the next 12 years.
